The 20 million plus illegals will simply be added to the 47% of Americans who do not pay Federal income tax (and most would not pay state income tax either). In exchange for contributing nothing to revenue, they will get welfare, housing, food, education, medicaid, etc. A simple cost benefit analysis indicates a huge negative impact for America. And what about those low-paid jobs that Obama claims the illegals do? Well once they are officially “legal”, the employers will have to pay them minimum wage, which will price them out of the job market. The predatory employers will by-pass them for new illegals, who they can manipulate into working for low wages because of their illegal status. And America will end up with 20 million underemployed “Americans” and a fresh batch of 20 million new illegals. And the only victor will be the Democratic Party.

In all humbleness of my opinion ‘littleharbor’ I think what you say is correct and to a small degree and very little timing it would be a democratic victory but looking in the long run, a ways down the vanishing point of the rail road tracks and insecure border trails those 12-33 millionillegals becoming legal or even getting green cards will be short lived.
This will have such a horrid affect on the economy, on health care, on housing on gangs and crime and such I do question should this really happen just what this country would look like in four years.
No, i believe this is just another horrible cog in the wheel broken and frayed, as America falls to the abyss of a thord world nation with sero credibility, spending into nothingness and anarchy in the streets, cry for me Argentina, Greece? We have $330 million people less 53 million aborted children a solar syatem full of immorality just in the last year and I pray and hope somehow this coup against the Bill of Rights, against legal Americans against leagalimmigrants who did it right, and maybe, maybe somehow we’ll be able to quell the border sieve, the huge white slave market, the weapons distribution( allegedly 200-300 have been murdered in mexico alon because of denied” youall bin racist” said Holder).
No, I agree but I also fear beacuse the way things are and with the strenght and powerof the government they have the ability to shut down our electrical, tax companies to oblivion, deny our medical needs, freeze our bank accounts and ultimately destroy what untorn fabric of American society is left.
Some say obama over stayed his bellowing on the fiscal cliff taxing the rich which didn’t even cover the hurrican damage.
What is to keep this man and his rezidentura, his collective brown-shirts, his incredibly disheartening EPA rules and regs trying to fight Climate Change with more fervor than Don Quioxte attempted over and again to slave the dragons( windmills!)

I may be going off on a tangent but this just fits too perfectly into a tactic/strategy of his determination to force a class warfare, a race war in which the common white middle class/slent majority will be the victims, the recipients of taxed to death( lieterally) outsourced and reneging again on poaying just the interest on bills.
When General NcAuliffe was surrouinded in the woods in WWII and the German general extened a hand of mercy he said,NUTS!” He kept fighting but he was in a battle and as bad and brutal and bloody as it was he knew his enemy and yet the major difference in this fracas, this attack on our very inner core of morals, values of all America is, all she stands for from the flag to the Liberty statue, to Arlibgton and to the greatest industrialized nation in the world with the strongest most powerful military in the world unlike Genreal McAuliffe,k we have noo idea where Obama will hit next and there is no silver bullet that will drain this demonic dracula leeching all that is righteous in this country.
I suppose this is too long. I wish I could summarize like others in a single basic sentence but my minds eyes see such an entangled web of deceit I cannot write just what allowing ILLEGALS( a low ball number if I’ve heard one) when journalists, all the propagandists, and demonizing GOOD people from Palin, to Rubio, to Bachman and King( just sayijng we should look into islum, redistricting Allan West and watching Romney crumble like a steam rolled potato chip when the very election was suspect.
This ‘littleharbor’ is exactly right in what you say. All I’m writing or trying to write is we are chasing so many issues tomorrow it’ll be Major hasan pleading guilty seeking life when he gave 14 death, or the next day when Obama attacks the do nothing congress, or the day after when he demanded 40 trillion more dollars or the day after when he write fifty executive orders only homosexuals and women can run Stryker units and after that he’ll deny israel a penny because they’re building a home on land they bought and fought for in five major wars and the next day it’ll be time to call all Mexicans legal( and all spanish speaking illegals) and we will NOT speak to them in anything but in their own language, and on and on.
It’s all got to end, this is just another cog, and yep you’re irght but I’ve no answer except I wish this limp-dinkus would start fighting like a man. Until then keep your powder dry and please send up a prayer or all we’ll be doing in the next few years is trying to figure not just how to hold on to some money but how to help our children have hope without the chaffing of the metal shackles this tyrants has imposed on every man, woman, and child.
